yes to both questions...as I recall, Sprint fired a mostly Latina
workforce at a Spanish-language branch in San Fransisco one week 
prior to a certification election that the union (CWA?) was likely 
to win...this incident dates back to '93 or '94...NLRB hearings were
initiated, I think Sprint was on the defensive for a time, but I 
don't remember whether or not there was a final judgment on the
matter (either for or against the company)...when I spoke to a WALD
rep about this a few years ago, I was told that WA was aware of and
monitoring the situation...ahh, the trials and tribulations of 
"progressive" (oops - "socially responsible") consumerism...Michael
